Abstract
Emergency departments (EDs) are a critical access point to care in safety net health systems. A retrospective chart review of patients with reactive RPRs collected in the ED of an Atlanta safety net hospital from 5/01/2020 to 10/31/2020 found suboptimal rates of syphilis treatment completion and linkage to PrEP services.
